Bond Intrigued

I've watched a couple of James Bond movies before, but none intrigued me at all. Well, except for having to watch Pierce Brosnan in his dashing suit (I don't mind that) but having to understand what is the movie about, I'm always already on my way to Rome or somewhere in my sleep. I'm just too lazy to figure out their conspiracy. 

But, hubster loves it. He watched ALL James Bond's films throughout his life. The plot, characters, settings, gadgets, cars are all within his fingertips. It's his thing with his dad as they can have hours and hours of discussion just on James Bond.

As for me me, What Money Penny? M? Errr.. 


But Skyfall? 

I beg to differ. I totally love it. I like the fact that Sam Mendes (the director)  revitalized the James Bond franchise with more slick characteristics and more action-packed entry. I couldn't help to feel all tingly while watching Daniel Craig and his lovely British accent figuring out his way around the manor. I love it when Skyfall let us explore the real characteristic of M before she was dismissed.

What's in store for James Bond 2015?

SPECTRE

Will I still be intrigued?

Golden Globes 2013

This post is overdue. But The Golden Globes have come and gone. Hollywood celebs get to showcase their achievement by flaunting their dresses as if to say the bigger/ sparkler dresses, the bigger achievement? Yay or nay?   

 Here are my picks of celebrity styles on the red carpet.

My favourite is of course the glowing Anne Hathaway in a sparkly Chanel couture. Simplicity at its best.

Love her. In Alexander Mcqueen.

Kerry Washington  in Miu Miu

Rosario Dawson in Antonio Berardi

What's your favourites?

Umma Gangnam Style

Oppa Gangnam Style is the way today and sometimes, I could not comprehend what is this Gangnam commotion about. Bila dengar 'Oppaa Gangnam Style tet tet tet tet'.... *groan* This song is so overplayed everywhere everytime. But then again, it's the dance moves, not the song. Could be the catchy beat too.

But only one gangnam style caught my attention. 

It's Umma (Mom)Gangnam Style.

Son and mom came up with cool moves for the gangnam style and Ellen Degeneres invite them over to her studio. The mom is 60 years old and she still has it babe! Lucky son as he gets to do this together with his mom. 

The rest of Gangnam videos can go fly kites. 

I only like this Gangnam. Way to go Mom!

GG 2012 Red Carpet Faves

I rarely watch all these awards shows unless I know that there will be some awesome performances by favourite artists. But lately I have a thing for Elie Saab and his creations/designs, so I thought, let's check out this Golden Globe awards. And yes, my instinct was right, Elie Saab's presented his  dress beautifully and the dress was worn by the divine looking Jessica Biel. So laaawwwwaa and it's long sleeves!

Style Icon 1 - Olivia Palermo

Who’s Olivia Palermo?

Olivia Palermo is an American It-girl, socialite in New York City, model and actress. She stars in MTV’s reality show, The Hills (spinoff) and The City (as one of the main character) where she is a friend of Whitney Port (the main girl in the City). She’s also a PR working under Diane von Furstenburgh. Many people presume that the character Blaire Waldorf in Gossip Girl is based on Olivia Palermo.

Blair Waldorf does looked a bit like her, isn’t she?

Olivia doesnt need her own fashion line, to me, she is fashion. Olivia doesnt need to prove her fashion sense and capabilities because one look at her and you know she knows what shes talking about. She may not be the best person (as a journalist or reporter) to work in fashion magazine industry, but she is definitely going to be a fashion icon in a class of her own. (watch The City, you’ll know what I’m talking about)

Everything she touches is hot and classy and she knows what to choose and put together. The things I like about her is that, believe it or not, she is attainable to the everyday working girl and her fashion closet, because Olivia isn’t opposed to mixing and matching low end items and high end ones. Most of the haters are just jealous, and regardless of what they think or say, in my point of view, I can see Olivia reaching the top.(Watch The City to know more).

While I find her character on The City extremely annoying, I cannot deny her awesome style and the beautifully put together outfits. To me, she’s just nice. Not too over the top, not trashy at all, never over-sexy. Just perfect, classy “leave something to the imagination” style of dressing and I admire and that I prefer for myself.

I spot a Birkin bag!

I am mesmerized on Olivia’s style is her instinct to mix things up. She’s often seen wearing classic labels with young, edgy designers like Erin Fetherston and Kimberley Ovitz, as well as high street buys such as Zara, H&M and Topshop (ok, that is something that I could actually afford) and with all that, she could still pull of her own feminine-chic style.

Fur coat

Every girl must have at least 2 LBD

I am digging her glittery blazer and look at that shiny mustard peep toes?

Less is more, that’s her motto!

Her style is more relaxed and sober (I want to say ‘controlled’ but it doesn’t sound … fashionist?), but still with a twist of chic-ness. She normally goes for a light weighted t-shirt or a loose blouse, mainly pair it with shorts and ballet pumps for a normal day out in the city. Sunglasses and a ‘wow’ handbag are a must to close the look. Less is definitely more!

Look at that wild Sun-G. Not everyone can pull off this type of Sun-G just like that right?

Stripesssss!

Checked!

Black and beige. You don’t need flashy colours to stand out!

Palermo in many colours and bright yellow cardi!

J’adore! Black and white. Basic is classic..

I am in love with her preppy style!

My favourite look: Pink loose coat thrown on top of black chiffon blouse n grey shorts. Her mary-jane heels seal the look!

Isn’t she a divine? I love her for her exquisite taste in fashion and style, regardless all the nasty gossips that has hit her, her style is still fabulous!

The Tent

I have always loved the film The Holiday, main cast by Jude Law (oohh), Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet and Jack Black. It’s my all time favourite movies along all other Nancy Meyer’s such as Something’s Gotta Give, The Parent Trap, It’s Complicated and What Women Want.

I love the set design in The Holiday (Nancy Meyer has great taste, notice that her other productions have quite similar designs as well) and I just can’t get enough of Sophie and Olivia’s tent. As a child I spent countless hours in my homemade “forts” loving my own private, cozy place. This tent would have been beyond my wildest dreams. It’s so beautiful and whimsical. I absolutely cannot wait to make this tent for my daughter(s) … someday.

I would be the happiest girl alive if I have a tent like this.

Olivia and Sophie - Lucky girls!
